THE ROUTINE REPORT
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-All of the grain markets
were very quiet to-day. Considerable acilF-
inv however was developed in the provision
Dit during the early part of the session.
Grain values opened very close TO MONDAY
latest prices. December wheat beng al Io1sc.
Later il sold between 727SG I3c and by noon
had recovered again 10 1880 where II held
for fir1ln M
1920 1850. Trading was light, still now
and then a moderate inquiry existed, ana as
offerings were not large, the feeling during
most of the session was firm. The corn mar
ket was featureless, except that far degree
of firmness existed and prices closed about
Lc over the opening figures. November sold
at 41@41SSc, December at 4l@41S4c and May
at 45lsGl 45SSc, closing at outside prices:
Oats although dull ruled rather steady and
there was no material change in prices. Very
little interest was manifested III the market
The bulk of the provision trade centered in
mess pork and fairly active business was
transacted at higher range OF prices. Re
ceipts of hogs were fair and less than eX-
pected and prices were well maintained. One
packer was credited with selling 1000
barrels January pork, but his offerings were
rapidly absorbed by scalpers, who bought
freely and January advanced from S1267l2
to SD IS, and closed at the latter figure.
Lard was stronger and November closed 2l2c
higher but other features were unchanged,
November sold at S6.1O06.42l2 and closed
at So. 47I2. Short ribs advanced 5@7l2c, but
trading was small. January sold at S6.3Il2
